Description of the problem	I have a 2005 mercury monterey minivan. When the incident happened in september 2009, it had 87,728 miles (based on repair bill dated 9/16/2009). On that september, 2009 evening, i was driving on us 27, and was coming up on a slight hill, and all of a sudden without any warning sign, i lost acceleration. I couldn't even make a turn to a side rode, it just stopped! Later a police car pulled over, and helped me to push my van to the side. I had the van towed to the dealer, and was told that my torque converter assembly needed to be replaced, and it cost me $2000! However, ever since i took my van back, every now and then, after i stopped at the red light, i have trouble to accelerate. When i accelerate, the transmission acts like it's at neutral, and the rpm would shoot up, and the van jolt forward. I have to let my foot up and then gently press several times for the van to slowly gain speed while all other cars just have to drive around to pass me. And when this happens, it felt almost like last september, and i worried the van will quit on me again. I had take the van back to the dealer twice for them to investigate this problem, but both time they said they could not duplicate the problem, so nothing could be done. (it's true that it doesn't happen all the time, it's kind of unpredictable). I'm kind of scared of driving this van, because i don't know when it will just stop right in middle of road again.
